MEDS Act: Bill Aims to Modernize EMS by Addressing Medication Shortages, Wall Time Delays

 A new piece of legislation is aiming to modernize the way EMS is delivered — and sustained — across the country.

 

The Modernizing EMS Delivery and Sustainability (MEDS) Act, H.R. 3443, officially titled the When Minutes Count for Emergency Medical Patients Act, seeks to amend Title XI of the Social Security Act and create a payment model that better reflects the realities EMS agencies face on the ground.

The bipartisan legislation, backed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP), aims to tackle long-standing pain points for EMS providers while also directing the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) to study how Medicare reimburses emergency medical services.
